We urge the Food and Drug Administration to please mandate the use of
validated alternatives to animal tests. Doing this would result in safer
drugs for American consumers since animal testing is not as reliable as
the alternatives. A drug that appears safe in animal tests may be
dangerous to humans, or the opposite may be true: drugs that are deemed
dangerous to animals may be safe for humans.

We look forward to your reply. You can contact us at the address in
this letter.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Frank L. Hoffman

"Joyful Curmudgeon"
An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the
same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the
world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true
peace and compassion.
